The paper introduces LingGS, an online monocular RGB Gaussian splatting SLAM system that decouples feed‑forward geometry prediction from camera tracking. By leveraging a frozen streaming 3D foundation model as a virtual RGB‑D sensor for depth estimation and an explicit geometric solver for camera motion via feature reprojection, LingGS achieves higher tracking accuracy than learned predictions. Experiments on indoor and outdoor datasets demonstrate significant improvements in reconstruction quality, achieving about 7 FPS on a single RTX 4090 and 2–3× the throughput of prior SLAM systems.

Existing Gaussian-splatting-based monocular Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) systems are either tailored to short sequences, are not real-time, or suffer from prohibitive GPU memory requirements, limiting their applicability in realistic, long-horizon scenarios. To address this, we present GLAM-SLAM, a real-time, decoupled Gaussian-splatting SLAM system designed for large-scale outdoor scenes.

VGGT-GS SLAM is a monocular 3D Gaussian Splatting SLAM system that operates on uncalibrated videos. It uses feed‑forward VGGT pose and depth priors to perform submap differentiable bundle adjustment, jointly refining camera poses, a 3D Gaussian map, and submap‑shared intrinsics and distortion parameters via analytic calibration Jacobians. The method introduces Gaussian‑native alignment for camera‑anchored scale refinement between submaps and loop‑closure verification, achieving improved localization accuracy and rendering quality on standard indoor benchmarks.

CGS‑SLAM is a hybrid decentralized/centralized SLAM system that enables multi‑agent 3D Gaussian Splatting reconstruction using only RGB images and inertial data. Each agent locally tracks motion with inertial priors, builds a scaled map via a monocular depth estimator, and shares keyframe encodings to facilitate dynamic keyframing and submap alignment. A central server then aligns submaps with a view‑alignment model, keeping communication costs low while achieving competitive tracking, higher rendering quality, and accurate submap alignment in GNSS‑denied environments.

GeoGSplat introduces a geometry‑grounded, feed‑forward Gaussian splatting framework that avoids the pixel‑aligned prediction bottleneck by using a fixed number of Gaussians. A dual‑branch encoder builds coarse 3D anchors and fine triplane features, while a hierarchical decoder progressively generates dense 3D points and Gaussian primitives for reconstruction and novel view synthesis. The method outperforms state‑of‑the‑art pixel‑aligned and non‑pixel‑aligned splatting techniques on DTU and NRGBD datasets, especially when rendering views far from the input cameras.

LonGaussian is a streaming feed‑forward framework that reconstructs compact, globally renderable Gaussian scenes from long image sequences with known intrinsics and unknown camera poses. It decodes long‑context geometric features into dense Gaussians, links repeated observations via multi‑frame point tracks, and consolidates predictions with a learned merger. Rendered‑depth consistency filtering removes incorrectly occluding Gaussians, leading to improved novel‑view rendering quality on DL3DV and RealEstate10K benchmarks while using fewer Gaussians than baseline methods.
